After the battle ended, Mo Qingshuang and the other three exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat complicated.
Too fast!
They had only just begun forming hand seals, preparing to attack, when Master Chen had already easily dealt with every cultivator from the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.
That made the four of them seem rather superfluous. They had not even managed to provide support.
"This fellow is nothing like a Golden Core cultivator!"
Looking at the devastated gorge, Yan's gaze shifted slightly.
To it, defeating five Golden Core True Persons was nothing.
But Chen Beiwu was different. Unless its senses were mistaken, he was currently only at the Golden Core peak stage, yet he could easily defeat a prodigy at Golden Core perfection, transcending the gap in cultivation.
Beyond that, what surprised Yan even more was Chen Beiwu's expansive affections.
The Companion Dao prized compatibility.
For Immortal Alliance cultivators seeking greater strength, contracting more companion beasts was not necessarily better. Quite the opposite.
Companion beasts were partners with whom cultivators jointly cultivated their lives and natures, mutually verifying the great Dao of immortality.
Ordinary prodigies would choose only one compatible companion beast to cultivate with early on, then slowly select suitable companion beasts later to supplement their spiritual root aptitude. Simply put, blindly pursuing companion beasts' bloodlines and numbers was instead a grave taboo of the Beast-Refining Dao, liable to scatter an Immortal Alliance cultivator's energies, muddle their foundations, and render their Dao impure.
Chen Beiwu could now simultaneously contract and nurture three heavenly gang mysterious beasts whose strength approached that of Nascent Soul True Lords, while perfectly balancing his contracted companion beasts, achieving harmonious auras, a stable soul, and completely unobstructed circulation of magic power.
Without question, Chen Beiwu was not only a Peerless Heaven's Pride in beast taming, but also
